Deficiency of NOX1/nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, reduced form oxidase leads to pulmonary vascular remodeling.
OBJECTIVE Involvement of reactive oxygen species derived from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, reduced form (NADPH) oxidase has been documented in the development of hypoxia-induced model of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Because the PAH-like phenotype was demonstrated in mice deficient in Nox1 gene (Nox1(-/Y)) raised under normoxia, the aim of this study was to clarify how ...
متن کاملApocynin, Reduced Nicotinamide-Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate Oxidase, and Vascular Cells
Apocynin (4-hydroxy-3-methoxyacetophenone), isolated from the traditional medicinal plant Picrorhiza kurroa, is a naturally occurring methoxy-substituted catechol, experimentally used as an inhibitor of reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase.1 Activated neutrophil NADPH oxidase, a multisubunit complex composed of membrane-associated gp91phox (Nox2) and p22phox and c...
متن کاملNicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate Oxidase–Mediated Redox Signaling and Vascular Remodeling by 16α-Hydroxyestrone in Human Pulmonary Artery Cells
Estrogen and oxidative stress have been implicated in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Mechanisms linking these systems are elusive. We hypothesized that estrogen metabolite, 16α-hydroxyestrone (16αOHE1), stimulates nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (Nox)-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and proliferative responses in human pulmonary artery smooth muscle ...
متن کاملReduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase-independent resistance to Aspergillus fumigatus in alveolar macrophages.
The fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus is responsible for increasing numbers of fatal infections in immune-compromised humans. Alveolar macrophages (AM) are important in the innate defense against aspergillosis, but little is known about their molecular responses to fungal conidia in vivo. We examined transcriptional changes and superoxide release by AM from C57BL/6 and gp91(phox)(-/-) mice ...
متن کاملInhibition of rat liver nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide kinase by reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate.
Rat liver NAD kinase (ATP : NAD 2’-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.23) was purified about 70-fold. The MichaelisMenten constants (Km) for NAD and ATP were 8 x 10e4 M and 2 x low3 M, respectively. NAD kinase activity was markedly inhibited by NADH and also NADPH. The Ki of NADH was approximately 1 X 10q4 M, and that of NADPH was approximately 5 X 10M5 M. Both inhibitions were competitive with NAD, ...
